Three-Phase Phase-Locked Loop Algorithms Based on Sliding Modes

Abstract

This article proposes a family of phase-locked loop schemes based on sliding modes. The use of sliding mode algorithms ensures fast response and global stability. In particular, two new algorithms are presented, both based on a complex framework for representing three-phase signals. This article compares the obtained algorithms with the traditional schemes, and a faster response is obtained when sliding modes are used. Additionally, as an application example, the algorithm is combined with a complex-coefficient filter that allows an easy identification of both positive and negative sequence harmonics. The proposed algorithms are illustrated by numerical simulations and experimentally validated using a digital signal processor.
